One anastomosis gastric bypass in a patient with situs inversus totalis and severe obesity

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is a widespread health concern, and bariatric surgery has shown promise as an effective treatment for addressing this issue. The increasing global prevalence of obesity has led to a rise in the occurrence of obesity alongside rare conditions such as situs inversus totalis (SIT). One of the most effective bariatric surgeries, one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), has gained popularity in recent years.

Materials and surgical technique: We report a successful case of OAGB in a patient with a body mass index (BMI) of 51.48 kg/m² and SIT.

Discussion: It is worth noting that in skilled hands, OAGB can be both effective and safe for patients with anatomical abnormalities like SIT.

Keywords: bariatric surgery; one‐anastomosis gastric bypass; situs inversus totalis.
